Private players engaged in the development exercises generate fresher job opportunities on a regular basis. However, the numbers of educated and skilled people who remain jobless do not show any downswing.

• What all reasons can you attribute to this disparity?
• How far is it right to say being jobless is a personal choice?

It is very much visible that private players contribute greatly towards generating employment. Unfortunately, there is hardly any let up in unemployment. Obviously, there are solid reasons for this, and, to some extent, some people stay jobless out of their will.

It is a fact that private sector is the biggest employment provider these days. Then why is there rise is unemployment too? Primary reason is there is great disparity between the number of people who get qualified and the number of openings generated. Secondly, the new generation institutions out thousands of people with poor qualifications. Unfortunately, today’s profit-driven private players want but the best. Thirdly, it is right to say, development exercises get concentrated in urban areas where there is tough competition when it comes to recruitment. There are many other minor factors, too.

In this respect it is right to add that a small percentage of work force remains jobless out of their choice. This happens when private players happen to demand greater contribution, dedication and commitment from new recruits. This is not acceptable for many modern job seekers. They feel it right to be more comfortable to be jobless than doing a job that may give them some discomfort.

For example, in my place, many youngsters wait for ages to get a government job which, unfortunately, is very few in number. Obviously, such people could go for some available jobs in private sector and simultaneously work their way towards their dream jobs. But not many are ready for such an attitude.

In short, though rise in unemployment despite private interventions has several reasons, in a away a small part of the productive workforce prefer to stay jobless. This is not fair and there needs a shift in people’s attitude to work whether it is private or government.
